Paula Wing

2024 George Luscombe Award Recipient

This award recognizes an individual for “mentorship in performing arts”. Revolutionary theatre founder and artistic director George Luscombe began Toronto Workshop Productions in 1959, marking the beginning of the Canadian alternative theatre movement. His 27 years at TWP marked the longest tenure of any artistic director in Canada.

The George Luscombe Award is presented every two (2) years. The recipient, who is chosen by a designated committee, receives a framed print by Theo Dimson, a copy of the book Conversations with George Luscombe: Steven Bush in conversation with the Canadian Theatre Visionary and a cash prize of $1,000 through the generous support of the Kingfisher Foundation.
